 raj election would result in men being placed in the administrative harness of the county as would be satisfactory to at least a majority of the people, as it required that majority to elect them to office, and as the last election was no doubt the only honest one ever held in Apache county, it looked impossi- ble for any one to creep into office except those whom the mass of the people wanted. But, after all this, 1t appears the Critic and Mir. E. R. Carr are not yet satisfied. The present administration, not yet in office one month, and having been assisted by these same men, and each and all receiving in the col umns of the Critic the most lavish and glorious of biographies, in the shape of character in their fitness and qualifications, have incurred the ill-will of these parties and why? The hog-latin of the Critic, nor the lengthy jejune communica- tions of Mir. Carr do not explain.
 If MT. Carr can run Apache county for $25,000 per annum, lie is the financier winch every one in Apache county is looking for, and with his generousness he should not hesitate in donating his widows mite i'll showing these ignorant pe6- pie their extravaganza in municipal matters, as to the expense of main taining county we kindly refer NIT. Carr, to Facts" published in the past weeks HERALD, if he can do better than this, then Apach, county, has not the men in office she is after, and she has lost $25,- 900 per annum by not electing Mr Carr to office. Ere one month more and the present administration St highly praised by the Critic only d | few months since will be besmeareG with his rose water" through his elephantine probosis and damned as thieves and rascals. However. such was expected of the Critic unless he got what he wanted, and had the county officers do as he wished, only the nature of th, animal nothing more. It would be we'll if the Critic would be- get an administration like unto himself-same nature and hab- its-aS we see no other way in pleasing his peculiar tastes.
 MT. Carr does not dislike" the present Board, but he goes slash ing at them over the shoulders of the old Board. Does he think the Board can compel the jailor to board prisoners? The law says a bid must be let for the boarding of prisoners, and the contract let to the lowest responsible bidder. This the Board did, and the lowest bid was $120. Could the Board do any more? It costs Apache coun- ty less than any county in the Ter ritory for her jallor and janitor, which are combined, and county physician, the latter cost Yavapai county for the fourth quarter 1886, as shown by the minutes of that Board nearly $700, and at the same time the pauper list of Apache county is equal if not greater than that of Yavapai. We must judge by comparison, and if we do we will find no extravaganza here. They may in the "old fogy State of Mis- souri" teach mud hens to dance, but unless required by law the Su- pervisors of Apache county have no right to do so. A better knowl- edge of the Board-their arduous and unpleasant lsbors, would lead you, Mr. Carr, to other than your erroneous criticism of them such criticisms could only emanate from mind which has permitted itself to become poisoned by the fragrant vehemence of those whose petty notions and private interests were met by the rebuke of justice.
 The lot of the Board of Super visors of Apache county is worse
